Shane Lowry Makes Masters History: His Second Hole-in-One at Augusta National Earns Him Crystal Bowl
On Saturday, Shane Lowry recorded a hole-in-one at the Masters at Augusta National. The Irishman aced the sixth hole, marking his second career ace at the tournament while playing in his third round.
Adding to his record, Lowry previously aced the 16th hole during the final round of the 2016 Masters. This feat makes him the first player in the tournament's history to record two holes-in-one.
Playing with Tommy Fleetwood, Lowry hit a shot from 190 yards, moving to 8 under par. That shot vaulted him into a high position, trailing tournament leader Rory McIlroy by four strokes.
Players who make holes-in-one at the Masters receive a crystal bowl, a prize Lowry previously earned. His recent success follows an ace at the Houston Open, mirroring the recent feat of Stewart Cink.
Lowry has a growing collection of aces at iconic venues, including the 17th at TPC Sawgrass and the 7 at Pebble Beach. These shots solidify his reputation as a hole-in-one specialist.
